We have been forced to create these new league scheduling rules and penalties as a result of teams abusing our rescheduling policy. PLEASE ask your parents to look at school calendars for dances, sporting events, etc that will not allow you to field a team BEFORE the season begins. It is easier for everyone involved if we can work a BYE in the initial schedule and not have to make changes mid-season. One in season schedule change affects at minimum your opponent, the field schedule and the ref schedule, not to mention the time involved to coordinate the change. By registering your team for a GBSC League, you are agreeing to all the policies and fines listed above.

We thank you for your continued support and hope you have a successful indoor season.
